The art historian, Rhea Anastas, is one of the three Performance in
Residence researchers for VII (2017–2018), Social Movement. For this she will
initiate a study of the artist and philosopher Adrian Piper’s work Some Reflective Surfaces (1975–76).
In the piece, Piper appears as a disco dancer in modified Mythic Being guise
with narration and film, performing for the first time in formal terms for an
art audience.
